A timely reminder tucked away in this piece (all about sex) that the The Church of England's response to Salman Rushdie's ‘The Satanic Verses’ wasn't to defend freedom of expression, but to demand that the government expand the Blasphemy Act to cover other religions, including Islam.

Unregistered schools are leaving British boys "wholly unable to speak, write or read English" says a new report from a Jewish counter-extremism group. Secularists have long called for action to end illegal faith schools to protect child rights. secularism.org.uk/news/2024/09/j…
